indigo, air india And SpiceJet has protested against a government directive barring airlines from charging for at least 60 per cent of seat selection, warning that the move could drive up airfares.The Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA), representing aviation companies, has called on the Civil Aviation Ministry to reconsider the decision. In a letter to Civil Aviation Secretary Sameer Kumar Sinha on Thursday, the civic body said the directive may have unintended and adverse effects on the aviation sector.“The financial impact of the Directive on airlines will be significant, forcing airlines to recover lost revenue through fare increases. As a result, all passengers, including those who do not wish to pre-select seats, will have to pay higher fares,” the letter said. The FIA ​​stated that seat selection fees are a legitimate source of revenue for airlines, especially in high-cost operating environments.It said costs continue to increase annually under the regulatory Airports Economic Regulatory Authority (AERA) framework, which allows airports full cost recovery with assured margins.“Airlines operate on thin margins and depend on ancillary revenues to offset rising operating costs, including fuel, maintenance, airport charges, etc. Imposing a blanket ban on ancillary revenues undermines commercial flexibility and interferes with market-driven pricing mechanisms,” the FIA ​​was quoted as saying by PTI.The FIA ​​also said that although free seat selection may seem beneficial to passengers, the broader impact could be adverse, with higher fares likely to limit affordability and reduce consumer choice.It said this decision could run counter to the goal of passenger welfare by converting the optional, user-paid fee into a uniform fare increase for all passengers, which would adversely affect price-sensitive passengers.The industry body also flagged the absence of stakeholder consultation, saying the decision was introduced without prior engagement with the sector.The FIA ​​urged the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to withdraw the order, saying, “If implemented, this measure will set a precedent for excessive interference in ancillary pricing, leading to huge loss of revenue for airlines, as well as creating uncertainty for airlines about future regulatory hurdles.”On Wednesday, the ministry said it has directed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to ensure that airlines provide at least 60 per cent of seats free for selection in each flight with a view to providing fair access to passengers.The move comes amid growing concerns over airlines charging high fees for add-on services, including seat selection. Typically, carriers charge between Rs 200 to Rs 2,100 for select seats, depending on factors such as row position and extra legroom.Meanwhile, sources said airlines have highlighted several operational pressures to the ministry, including rising jet fuel prices linked to the West Asia conflict, as cited by PTI.The situation has had a significant impact on flight operations to and from the region.

The family claimed that a dangerous social media challenge took the life of their nine-year-old daughter and warned against such dare. Jacqueline Blackwell died in her family’s backyard a month ago when she was found with a rope wrapped around her neck, said her parents, Curtis and Wendy Blackwell.“It was just the three of us, three friends, we did everything together,” said Curtis Blackwell.Curtis and Wendy Blackwell said, “Karaoke. She loved karaoke; she could do it all day.”Jacqueline’s parents said she loved singing and dreamed of becoming a star, CBS News reported.“She was on YouTube a lot, of course, as were a lot of kids,” said Curtis Blackwell.She said she also enjoys facing challenges she receives on social media, which seemed harmless to her until the incident a month ago.“On a typical morning, tickle him to wake him up to get ready for school,” said Wendy Blackwell.“She goes out to play like she always does, out in the yard. I noticed it was a little quieter – quieter than it should have been,” said Curtis Blackwell. “Then I saw her around the corner leading to the carport, saw her hair. I said, ‘Jacqueline!’ I thought she was playing bent over because she was always playing in that area, but she wasn’t.”“I found her unconscious, clinging to a rope,” said Curtis Blackwell. “I tried to do everything I could to save her. I pulled her out of her restraints. I tried to give her CPR until first responders got there. It was the most horrifying, shocking thing I have ever seen. It was horrible to see my daughter in such a vulnerable state because of something so senseless.”“I don’t think I’ll ever do that,” said Curtis Blackwell. “I will never forget that day. That will linger in my mind for the rest of my life.”The Blackwells said they spent several days trying to understand why this happened.“My mom told me that Jacqueline had shown her a video earlier of a guy doing this with a rope, my mom told her, ‘You should never do that,'” said Curtis Blackwell.Videos of people deliberately strangling themselves for a short-term euphoria, often referred to as the blackout challenge, have circulated on social media for years.

What is the Blackout Challenge?

The “blackout challenge”, which encourages individuals to suffocate to the point of losing consciousness, falls into the latter. Her parents said they believe Jacqueline copied what she saw and became one of 80 documented cases of death from the challenge, according to the CDC.“This is not a joke, this is not a game, this is life and death,” said Curtis Blackwell. “Most of the kids are ages 9 to 14. A lot of kids her age don’t have fully developed brains and are very easily influenced.”Some social media sites have now posted warnings or blocked searches for the blackout challenge, but the videos continue to promote the act.“She is our beautiful angel now,” Wendy Blackwell said.Only a month after losing their daughter, the Blackwells said they are turning their grief into action.“Even if it saves one life, that life matters a lot,” said Curtis Blackwell.They called for greater accountability, saying they did not want other parents to suffer similar fates.“You can have your kid check on it, it could be a kid-friendly video, and then three minutes later it could be something completely dark because of the algorithms they create,” said Curtis Blackwell. “A lot of these kids are lost, so these companies can’t be held accountable in my view.”
